It was moreover on the set of
16 years or so
, ten years ago, that Tristan Séguéla, who already had in mind a fiction devoted to Bernard Tapie, realized that the actor would make a perfect interpreter for the character.
Without the agreement in principle of the person concerned
The series, whose online date has not yet been formalized, should have six episodes and could, if successful, continue in a second season.
In June, in an interview with
Nice-Matin
and
Var-Matin
, Bernard Tapie had let it be known that he had not given his agreement to a series on his life: “I was against it.
(…) That there are documentaries is something else, but borrowing my name is a bit heavy.
He died in October of cancer at the age of 78.
